The Claims Administration Section of the Industrial Commission has
forwarded to the Deputy Commissioner Section a number of Form 21/26 filings that
it cannot process to a final decision. I hope the following advisory is helpful.

Each of the Form 21/26 filings listed on our website represents a
Form submission generally from September, October, November, and December 2004,
in which the Claims Examiner requested additional information to complete the
Sectionís review. The requested information was not received by the Claims
Examiner. Ultimately, Ms. Karissa Davan, Director of Claims Administration,
issued an Order directing the parties to submit the information requested. A
generic version of the Order she entered may by found at this hyperlink:
Director Davanís
Order. These Orders were issued generally in May 2005.

Our records indicate that the parties have not responded to Director
Davanís Order. Each of these cases will be docketed in April 2005 unless
immediate corrective action is taken.

If all materials subject to Director Davanís
Order are received in the Claims/Statistics Section prior to Monday, February
13, 2006, the case will not be docketed. Director Davan will certify to the
Deputy Commissioner Section the cases that do not have to be docketed.

All remaining cases will be docketed. These
issues, among others that may be applicable to any individual case, to be
addressed at hearing will be:

1.Requiring Defendants to provide all materials as provided by Director
Davanís Order;

2.Approval or disapproval of the Form 21/26 filing;

3.Appropriate sanctions, if applicable, for violation of the Rules of the
Industrial Commission;

4.Payment of attorney fees, if applicable, for unfounded and litigious
litigation; and

5.Imposition of court costs.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please direct all
specific questions or concerns regarding Director Davanís Order to her office as
indicated above. For questions or concerns regarding the docketing of these
cases for hearing or hearing procedure, please direct your communication to my
office. Because of the volume of contacts anticipated, email communication to
gheen@ind.commerce.state.nc.us is preferred, but not required.
